A BIG BOB-AT TUB CUBA lReSolution of Sympathy Reported In the National Senate- THE TEXT 01' THE DOCUMENT - Almost Approaches Recognition of the Insurgents as Belligerents—Squab- bling In the Lower House Over Condemned Cannon. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. -—There was an interesting prospect in the senate today.‘ Mr. Tillman (S. C.) had given notice of a financial speech which was to be the first since he entered the senate. There was personality his reputation for vehement oratory, and his prominence while gov- ernor of south Carolina during the state _ dispensary excitement. Mr. Mitchell (Rep, Or. ) and Mr. Call iDem., Fla.) also expected to speak, and possibly Mr. Vilas (Dem, Wis. ) and Mr. Palmer (Dem., Ills. ). A long session was expected, as Mr. Jones (Dem., Ark. ), in charge of the bond silver bill, desired to clear the way of speeches in order to make v an effort to secure a vote tomorrow. Mr.’ Morgan (Dem., Ala. ), from the committee on foreign relations, reported on the resolution for the recognition of the belligerent rights of the Cuban insurgents. The senator read the report in full, stating that it favored action on a substitute reso- lution. The reading of the resolution and report was followed with close attention by. senators: ' : Resolved by the senate (the house of repre- scntatives concurring), That the present de- plorable war in the island of Cuba has reached a magnitude that concerns all civilized nations to use extent that it should be conducted, if unhappily it is longer to continue, on those principles and laws of warfare that ‘are ac- knowledged to be obligatory upon civilized nations when engaged in open hostilities, in- . cluding the treatment of captives who are en- list’éd in, either army. due respect to cartels ' for exchange of prisoners and for other mili- tary pri‘rpbses. "traces and flags of truce, the provision of proper-hospitals and hospital sup- plies and services to the _sick and wounded of neither. army. and bemu'rther Resolved, That tifis representation of the victims and opinion of .congrcss be sent to-the president, and if he concurs therein that he —wil_l- in a- friendly- spirit, use the good offices of this government to the end that Spain shall be requested to accord to the armies with which it is engaged in war the rights of bellig- erents as the same? are recognized under the laws of nations. ~ The Accompanying Report. The resolutidn Was accompanied bya report. The report says. "The”. congress ‘Of the United States, deeply regretting the unhappy state of hostilities existing in Cuba, which has been the result of the demand of a large number of the native population of that .island far its independence, in a spirit of respect and regard for the welfare of both countries earnestly desires that the secur- ity Of life and property and the establish- ment of permanent peace and of a govern- ment that is satisfactory to the people of Cuba should be accomplished. And to the extent that the people of Cuba are seeking the rights of local self government for do- mestic purposes the congress of the United States expresses its earnest sympathy with them. The congress would also welcome with satisfaction the concession by Spain of complete sovereignty to the peopleof' that island and would cheerfully give to such a voluntary concession the cordial support of the United States. The near. proximity of Cuba to the frontier of the United States and the fact that it is uni- versally regarded as a part of the conti- nental system of America identifies that island so closely with the political and commercial welfare of our people that con- gress cannot be indifferent to the fact that civil war is flagrant among the people of Cuba. ” The report then sets forth that it is im- possible longer to overlook the fact that the destructive character of the war is doing serious harm to the rights and in- terests of our people on the island and to our lawful commerce, the protection and freedom of which are safeguarded by treaty obligations. It is recalled that in former wars of the same character as the present the United States has always ob- served all of its duties toward the belliger- ents. This, the report says, was a difficult task, “but it was performed with vigor, impartiality and justice in the hope that, Spain would so ameliorate the condition of the Cuban people as to give them peace, contentment and prosperity. This desir- able result has not been accomplished. Its failure hasnot resulted from any interfer- ence on the part of our people or the gov- ernment with the people or government of Cuba. “The hospitality which our treaties, the laws of nations andthe laws of Chris? tianity have extended to Cuban refugees in the United States has caused a distrust on the part of the Spanish government as p to the fidelity of our ' government to its obligations of neutrality in the frequent insurrections of the peeple of Cuba against Spanish authority. This distrust has of: ten become a source of serious annoyance to our people and has led me spirit of re- taliation toward Spanish authority in Cuba, thus giving rise to frequent contro- versies.” Reference is made to the absence of re- sponsible government in Cuba as a cause of protracted imprisonment and property confiscations; also to the fact that these Cuban insurrections have ever proved a temptation to filibusters from this coun- try, causing trouble and expense. It is as- serted that the devastation of Cuba in the present 'War, that is “being waged with fire and sword,” is a cause of unrest among the people of the United States, creating strong ground for protest against its con tinuanoe. Cameron’s Minority Report. Mr. Cameron (Rep. , minority report on the Cuban resolution from the committee .on foreign relations. Mr. Cameron’s resolution was a brief re- quest to the president to interpose his friendly offices for the recognition of the independence of Cuba. The report re- viewed the course of President Grant dur- ing the former Cuban revoltin seeking to Pa) presented a O as secure the independence of Cuba. Senator Tillman (Dem., S. C. )was then recognized and delivered his speech on the silver question. . In the House. Fix-Congressman J. Randolph :Tucker (Va), the author of the'quorum enforcing rule adopted by the present house, was on the floor of the house when that body'con- vened today. The session was by unani- mous consent devoted mainly to the con- sideration of business. . Mr. Brewster (Rep., N. Y.) called up a bill for the donation of condemned cannon to G. A. R. posts at Rochester and Look- port, N. Y. During the consideration of this bill_ MT. Pickler (Rep. ., S. D.) asked Mr. Brewster whether he thought there would be enough cannon torgo round to all G. A. R. posts. “If all are as worthy as these posts are,” replied Mr. Brewster, “I think we can afl'ord to manufacture condemned cannon added interest from the senator’ 5 unique 1 for the G A R 905‘s 0f the country. " [Laughton ] This colloquy led to an amusing scram- ble for condemned cannon. Fully 50 mem- bers were on their feet trying to offer amendments for‘ the donation of con- demned cannon to their districts. After the bill had been loaded down with amend— ‘hents and Mr..Pickler had offered an em- nibus amendment to provide for con- demned cannon for the G. A. R. depart- ments of each state and territory, the clamor for Cannon became so loud that the bill and amendments were referred to the committee on naval affairs. The house adjourned after an ineffectual effort to pass the bill to donate condemned cannon. THE ST. PAUL MOVED. The Big Ocean Liner Pulled Twenty Feet Nearer Deep “later” NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—It was hoped that the St. Paul would be floated today at high tide, which it was thought would be the highest of the present month, but the wind was still offshore at Long Branch and kept the water down, although its velocity? Was not more than six miles an hour.‘ Five tugs helped the big steamship, Which kept up a steady pull on the haws- ers, but the only gam was about 20 feet alongshore, while the stern was moved so as to increase the angle of ship to the shore by five degrees. The cargo has. been practically- removed from the stranded steamship, and it is hoped that tomor- row’s tide, which will be one-tenth of a foot higher than today’s, will give the wreckers a chance ,to move her farther. The sand, however, has banked up against the port or seaward side. and as each day adds to the mound it will require a strong sea to move it. If an onshore wind should .blow up with a moderate sea, this sand would be moved. The experience of the Amerique of the French line, which was ashore at the same place in a. much more dangerous position for three months and was then floated in a high spring tide with little difficulty, is referred to by the wreckers as an evidence that the St. Paul is likely to be taken ofl the shore in safety. Other vessels have been high and dry on the New Jersey coast and have been got off after a time. Some of the agents of the other lines think the St. Paul will not be moved un- til the high spring tides come in March. The New York of the same line was ashore in Gedney’s channel for a little over three days in 1889 and had to be lightened in order to get her off. She struck at 8 p. In. on Oct. 9 at high tide, and it was thought that she would be floated at the next tide, at 8 a. m. Seven tugs pulled at her for an hour and a half, but moved her only a few feet. The pas- sengcrs were then landed and another ef- fort made at night, which also failed. The next morning ten tugs tried to drag her off the bar where she was stuck, but they failed, and then all of the cargo was re- moved on lighters. At half past 10 o’clock on Oct. 12 a heavy northwest wind sprang up, and at high tide the New York was floated without any assistance except from her own engines. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The Ill Fatcd Vessel Had More Than One Hundred Volunteers on Board—Facts About Her l’ur'clxasceTlie Garcias .3 ‘ Refuse to Blake :1. Statenmnt. , NEW YORK, Jan. 3'3. —-Thc story printed in a morning neWSpaper that some one connected with the Cuban junta here is Supposed to have 111 oflted in the purchase of the wrecked J. W. Hawkins is authori- tatively denied. It is deem ibcd as a yarn made from whole cloth. Not a Cuban here thinks of such a thing. The J. W. Hawkins was purchased through a 1esponsible American firm of high standing. She was bought in Bel- timore, and she was there examined from stem to stem, hull and machinery. She was pronounced stench. swift and sea- worthy. She was examined by an Ameri- can expert and an engineer of known abil- ity, honesty and expc1iencc. Even now there is no thought among the Cuban leaders here that the Hawkins was anything but what her examiners pronounced her. The cause of her sinking must be looked for somewhere else. Of course there can be no public investiga- tion, but a private one will be instituted. The great fact which points toward a traitor aboard the boat is the exceedingly fine lifeboats which the Hawkins carried. It was not expected by whoever gave the . vessel its mortal injury that every avenue of escape would thereby be cut ofi‘. If this be a correct supposition, the result bears out the idea of the traitor. After the examination and purchase of the Hawkins at Baltimore the ship was coaled in that city. No Cubans were on board when she started for New York. She behaved splendidly on her trip up here and seemed to fulfill every require- ment admirably. She arrived here on the night of Jan. 22 and then took on her arms and ammunition. When the Cubans had boarded her and she steamed for Cuba early Sunday morning, every one w as in the best of spirits. They thought that they had a vessel under them that would answer any and all calls. that could be made upon it The Hawkins had on board 117 souls all told, of whom 101 were volunteers and a crew of 16. Fifty more were expected, but in the hurry in leaving port those men were left behind. There was plenty of room for them on board. Sympathy For Garcia. A crowd of Cubans assembled today at the residence of General Garcia. 256 West One Hundred and Twenty—ninth street. Each one as he appeared was welcomed at the door by one of the male members of the family, who gave and received a pecul- iar grip of the hand. All these gentlemen who spoke to out siders declared that they had come to cheer General Garcia up over the disaster he had encountered in the expedition for Cuba on the J. W. Hawkins. The man at the door said that General Garcia and his son Charles were both ill, and that they could not be seen by stran- gers. ' This note was sent out in response to a request for information: General Garcia and his son are ill and can~ not be molested in any way. ’Alhey beg, there- fore. to be excused for not giving out for the present any information What-ever. ALFREDO ARAMDO. Jan. 29. General Garcia is 57 years old. He is a recognized leader in the ranks of the Cu- ban revolutionary party. As a soldier he is daring, and rose rapidly to his present rank in the ten years’ war. He has always been identified with “the cause.” In 1874, when outgeneraled and surrounded, he attempted suicide by shooting himself. He was sent a prisoner to 4-pain, escaped to the United States, raised an expedition He again fell into the‘hands of the Spaniards, and was sen- tenced to 15 years’ imprisonment. Again he escaped, and has since been actively en— gaged in arranging the expedition which terminated so unfavorably to the Cuban cause. Latest News of the lVar. HAVANA, Jan. 30. —According to thelat- est reports, Gomez seems to be succeeding in his recent maneuver.

Spain May Send liIore Men. _ MADRID, Jan. 30..——Premier -Canovas del Castillo had a conference with Senor Azcarraga, minister of war, in regard to sending further re-enforcements to Cuba, and also discussed the matter of calling 17,000 additional men into active service. , Croker Leaves \Vashington. WASHINGTON, J an. 30,—Richard Croker, who has been stopping with Senator Mur- phy of New York for several days, left here today. He was accompanied to the. train by Senators Murphy and Smith, and presumably went to New York, though he ' refused to say where he was going. When asked whether he was bound for New York, he replied that “he might stop off.” An Unsuccessful Water Walkbr. BOSTON, Jan. 30.-—It was learned today that Professor Charles W.
